What You Will Do:

• Conduct Functional Behavior Assessments and skills assessments to identify the function of behaviors and areas for growth

• Create practical data collection systems and monitor progress through ongoing data analysis
• Provide hands on coaching, modeling, role play, and feedback to help caregivers successfully implement behavioral strategies
• Train team members and other providers on ABA principles and behavioral strategies to promote consistency across services
• Collaborate closely with youth, families, caregivers, clinicians, and other members of the treatment team
• Serve as a behavioral resource and team lead within Flex Services
• Participate in treatment planning, team meetings, group supervision, and ongoing professional development
